Today, Maine Indian basketmakers continue to use tools passed down from their ancestors to produce sturdy work baskets and ornate, finely woven, fancy baskets. Some 75 basketmakers from Maine\u2019s four tribes currently make baskets. The majority of these individuals are in their 60s, 70s and 80s. In 1992, the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance was formed to promote all aspects of this tradition from the gathering and preparation of brown ash and sweetgrass to actively promoting and marketing Maine Indian baskets.<\/p>\n
